Everyone's probably heard the saying "Will It Play In Peoria."
Now, the common phrase has a personality, and words.
Listen to the creation of Jan Firmand and Julie Tudor in 2002, and feel free to hum it, sing it, enjoy
it, turn it off, or whatever you'd like.

In the studio. . .

Gary Manuel, with Mirror Image Duplication in Bartonville, IL, reviews the Will
It Play In Peoria sheet music before a recording session. Drummer Patrick Doody
looks on.

Gary Manuel, where are you? You were a beacon of light for 2 deer
in the headlights!

Not pictured is our vocalist, Mort, of East
Bluff Music in Peoria. Many thanks to Jim and to Mort
for your steady pipes. We'd love it if you emailed us your photo for this page.
